diverse springs
- Thread starter Biffff
- Start date
this has been covered, but site has moved to: http://www.dsp-racing.com/
and seriously, just call Fadi @ Ph: 661-775-3775
basically, no-one is able to get their hands on product right now and no-one really knows where to get raw material... it seems like there is a shortage of Ti alloy but nobody really knows why because prices are pretty low at the moment...
*edit* if you have the capability to make Ti springs for MTB applications, now is the time to start selling. there is a huge void that DSP filled for awhile but couldn't keep up with demand.
that being said, DSP has a bunch of old stock that they are getting rid of, so ring em up and see if they got what you need.
i was lucky to score a DSP Ti Spring from a fellow RM member just a few weeks ago.
otherwise, with obtainium and dsp not churning out springs, my next choice was to get one from NukeProof.

RCS springs still seem readily available...
hmmmm. I checked the old Obtanium thread......I was the last person to post......oh a few months ago. I haven't really seen any info popping up recently.
I neet a 450x2.75 so I doubt they have any of those in their "old stock" as its a pretty common size/weight.
I have no interest in ordering from CRC as I got hammored in fees at my doorstep the one time a tried them. I'll hold out for DSP....
k9 race springs are going into sale soon, i was given a 120eur price per spring...
K9 standard steel spring 350# ~470 g
K9 Race steel spring 350# ~360 g
K9 Race titan spring 350 # ~280-300 g
I am not sure if the weights are for 300 lbs or 350 lbs

really? last time me and a few people talked to them, they werent selling any Ti spring since they were holding them to sell with their shocks.
For Ti or Steel?
I'd like to know what they are selling the lightweight steel springs for...

Uh you are saying 120 euros for a steel spring?
I need a 1.43 to go on my CCDB.
Ya I thought I was gettin a great deal on a pair of 5-10's......nope
we were/are
a dealer (don't know anymore, business has gotten very iffy in terms of communication) and so i still get random info down the pipeline. you are correct, a few months back i was told the same thing... "sorry, but pushing our shocks more than springs". However, i was told maybe 3 weeks back?? that "Ti springs were in stock for orders". I had assumed that meant they weren't selling shocks like they would like and were getting rid of inventory. Its really too bad if these guys go under, they had nice springs and good prices.If anyone finds a reliable source of Ti springs, post up! So far it sounds like Nukeproof is the only one that actually has stuff to deliver.
Seriously, is BTI not reliable or something? Nobody wants RCS? I just looked here and they're almost fully stocked.
Seems like a reliable source to me...
Excellent! RCS it is.
BTI is about as reliable as it gets, nobody every posts about getting a RCS spring so I just figured that everyone knew they made them, but no-one had actually got one. Thanks for the info!
RCS may not come to everyone's mind due to past fitment issues when everyone had to have a DHX w/ Ti.......
btw, has anyone placed a RCS on a Fox lately?
Edit: Also, folks used to complain about RCS's weight & $........has this changed for the better?

For what it's worth, I emailed DSP's customer service email for a Ti spring today around 2PM to see if they had my size spring in stock. By 3:45, the deal was done and the spring was shipping. Great C/S!
